Asia Minute: Singapore: Peace on a Plate?

Much of the coverage of President Trump’s meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un has focused on nuclear weapons and missiles. But for the host city of Singapore, some local businesses have focused on less serious topics — including food.

Bars are getting into the act — on a basic level you can choose a blue-colored bourbon-based “Trump” cocktail or a red-colored “Kim” drink made with soju.

A bit more ambitious is the “Burger for World Peace” — restaurant proprietors are offering to deliver them free to the two leaders. It starts with bulgogi marinated shabu brisket, kimchi mayo and Korean pickled radish – rounded out with caramelized onions and American sharp cheddar cheese.

The restaurant says it hopes the Burger for World Peace will help the two countries to “#settlethebeef.”
